2. When using for the first time, thoroughly wash and then dry the baking
grids.
3. Now youʼre ready to bake Waffles, grill Sandwiches, or bake Pizzelles.
Just insert the appropriate grids, and follow the instructions for the food
you are preparing as shown a little further on in this booklet.
4. When baking, never use metal utensils, which can damage the non-
stick surface of the grids. Let only wood or plastic utensils contact the
non-stick surface.
5. When finished, remove the plug from the wall socket. Let cool.
6. Finally, itʼs easy to clean up. See clean up instructions further on in
this booklet.
Making Waffles
1. Before the first waffle of the day use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom waffle grids with a vegetable oil or melted shortening.
Spray shortenings work well for this purpose.
2. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak areas of
the grid are covered. If necessary, a spatula may be used to spread the
batter into the corners of grid.
3. Close the baker. Do not open the baker for at least 1-1/2 minutes.
Opening too soon will cause unbaked waffles to split, top from bottom.
4. Remove waffles from the grid with a non-metallic utensil. Waffles are
ready to serve.
5. If you need to take a short break, or are interrupted, close the baker
to maintain maximum heat. A hot waffler produces best results. Waffles
may tend to stick if the iron cools down.
For Best Waffle Baking Results
DO NOT OPEN WAFFLER during the first 90 seconds of baking. Wait
until most of the escaping steam slows down. If opened to soon, waffle
will split and become difficult to remove.
STIR WAFFLE BATTER just until large lumps disappear. Do not
over-mix.
IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK or are interrupted, close the
baker to maintain maximum heat. A hot waffler produces best results.
Waffles may tend to stick if the iron cools down.
EXTRA CRISPY WAFFLES may be produced by allowing a longer
baking time. Shorten the baking time for less crispiness.
LIGHTER WAFFLES may be produced by first beating the egg yolks,
blending with flour & other ingredients, then gently folding beaten egg
whites into the batter.
WHEN SERVING WAFFLES flip them over onto a plate with bottom side
up. Gravity lets the bottom fill out completely, whereas there is not always
enough rise for the batter to perfectly fill out the top half of the waffle grid.
FOR A CRISPIER WAFFLE you may use a cooling rack to let waffles cool
down and dry out.
Making Sandwiches
1. Each time you grill sandwiches, use a pastry brush to lightly coat the
top and bottom waffle grids with a small amount of margarine, butter or
shortening. A spray shortenings may be used for this purpose.
2. Close the Inter-Baker and prepare sandwich while unit is heating.
3. Fully open the Inter-Baker. Place a slice of bread in the bottom half
with the buttered side against the grid.
4. First, form a hollow by pressing the bottom slice of bread into the
bottom grid-cavity, and then fill the sandwich.
5. Cover sandwich with the top slice, keeping the buttered side up,
and carefully close the sandwich maker. Do not force shut. Steam will
escape from between the grids while pressing sandwich together. Care
must be taken to assure that fingers are kept away from the escaping
steam.
6. Lock the two halves together with the handle clip while sandwiches are
toasting.
